Danger signal

SELFDESTRUCT Opcode

The contract can destroy itself, wiping its code and (with CREATE2) reincarnating as something else.

Analyzer: Bytecode Patterns
Slug: opcode_selfdestruct

What it means

SELFDESTRUCT removes the contract's code from the address. In a token this is highly abnormal: it can brick the token, or pair with CREATE2 to swap in entirely new, malicious code at the same address.

Why it matters

A self-destructible token is a token that can vanish or transform under your feet. It is the teardown half of the metamorphic rug and a serious tell on its own.

How RektRadar detects it

RektRadar flags the SELFDESTRUCT opcode in the runtime bytecode and raises a stronger combo verdict when CREATE2 is also present.
